Blacksmith Covered Bridge

Item Blacksmith Covered Bridge. The Blacksmith Shop Bridge was built by James Tasker. The bridge was used by only one family and given its name because of its close proximity to a local blacksmith shop that once stood in an area know as Slab City. Milton Graton repaired and restored the bridge in 1963. The southern end was raised two feet and the northern end one foot. The floor and sheathing were replaced. The bridge was reopened to pedestrian traffic only and dedicated on September 18, 1983. Image was captured using a Nikon D200 with a Nikon 60mm lens 0.8 second exposure @ f16, ISO 100.
